I recently discovered my great grandfather was from Cork, information I never imagined I’d have. My dream is to visit there for St. Patrick’s Day one year.
ours is saturday...it's a huge event downtown...it's really fun...lots of colorful people and green beer ;) a woman was talking on the news the other day who is from ireland and now lives here and said how we celebrate it a lot differently than you do in ireland...to us it's basically a drinking holiday and everyone is irish haha...i'm going to skip out this year though because it is supposed to be really cold and snowy and rainy!
So I've been told (apparently erroneously) that the irish don't do St. Paddy's and leprechauns or pot's o gold. Additionally, that my very favorite corned beef and cabbage is not commonly eaten in the greening country on the planet. Looks like I might have been steered wrong.
Very nice photo Bill. With or without the sign. We are deep in the desert so no parade here. Although someone in the campground is cooking corn beef, cabbage and all the rest tomorrow, and we are invited.
...Saturday, our parade will be held in the snow!
ReplyDeleteLet the fun begin!
ReplyDeleteIrish to the core! No mistaking this one!
ReplyDelete2.30 sharp. The only thing I understand Bill.
ReplyDeleteEverything is ready I see.

ReplyDeleteSt. Patrick's Day is well celebrated here as well, as I said. Toronto becomes a green city for one day! : ))
ReplyDeleteI have bought green scones in the past! But not green beer. : )

ReplyDeleteNi Irish in my family history, but I suppose I could be Irish for a day. I hope we are going to see pictures of the parade.
ReplyDeleteBig celebrations in Ireland Bill.. and most places I guess 😀
ReplyDeleteSt. Patrick seems to be celebrated world-wide and it is one of my Grandsons birthday

That is a very attractive sign. Love the lettering and the colors. Now, if only St. Patty makes an appearance.
ReplyDeleteA hundred thousand welcomes!
ReplyDeleteWe had ours on Saturday. I'll have a couple of posts on it Friday and Saturday.
Ha Bill hier hoeft verders niets bij toegevoegd worden, het bord zegt al genoeg.
ReplyDeleteGroet Kees.
I bet it's an awesome parade. Hope the weather cooperates!
ReplyDeleteLooking forwards to nice photos of the parade. Thanx Bill.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is a big party day here!
ReplyDeleteI can well imagine that a few pints of Guinness will be quaffed that day!
ReplyDeletePretty houses all in a row!
ReplyDeleteSt Paddy's - the day everyone becomes Irish!
